Going Steady
Said Going
Out of Style
By GAV PAULEY
UPI Women'i Editor
New York - Going steady
Is on the wane with teenagers.
Going steadily goes steadily
, On. If you 11
hold on there
a minute, we
will explain
the difference
between the
two as it has
been spelled
out to mp by
some pretty
hep young
Gay Pauley ladies. "Going
teady," they explained,
means you confine your dat
ing for the movies, the junior
prom, and sodas at the local
drug store to one boy - or girl.
All other competition is ruled
out so long as the young cou
ple agrees on the steady plan.
"Going steadily" though
means dating frcqucnlly-two,
three or four time a week,
with two, three or four dif
ferent fellows - or girls. This
currently is "in" with the
younger set.
The subect of teen agers'
social habits came up during
the recent America's Junior
Miss Pageant in Mobile, Ala.,
where I was one member of
the panel of five Judges who
interviewed, separately, the
51 . finalists, all high school
seniors.
The 51 had been winners
among the 18,000 girls enter
ing the contest at local and
state levels.
They said the steady plan
Is moving out of favor, not
because of parental objec
tions, but because of tho
growing practicality of the
young people.
The consensus of the 51:
Certainly, there is the advant
age of knowing you'll have
a date for that important oc
casion coming up. But you're
also confining yourself. How
is one girl or boy to know
all the potentials in her or
his social group by dating one
person?

final touch of humor to this
enjoyable play.

i conic in several forms, quick

Former Valley Resident Describes European Trips
(Editor's Note: This is the
third in a series of letters
from Dr. Donald Barnes, a
former resident of Phoenix,
and son of Mrs. Cornelia
Barnes, Phoenix. Doctor
Barnes is coordinator of cur
riculum for the American Air
Force schools in Europe and
North Africa.)
The family has had many
individual and group projects
under way since it last report
ed to you. Of special pleas
ure was a trip to Paris about
a month ago. I was request
ed to participate in a teach
ers' conference involving Air
Force schools of Central and
Western France. I traveled by
car and took the family along.
We drove south on the auto
bahn to Saarbruckcn and
turned west on route N-3 to
ward Paris. We passed through
Melz, Verdun, Chalon, and
Montmirail en route. This
happens to be the famous in
vasion route for army after
army from the east driving
toward the fertile land of
France.
All along we saw statues
commemorating famous bat
tles and generals of the 19th
and 20th centuries , . . and
especially those of the War
of 1870 when Bismarck's
forces pushed through to
Paris. It was quite a thrill for
me to see signs indicating
that it was only a few kilo
meters to such places at Etain,
Valmy, Reims, Chateau
Thierry, and Armentiers. A
close family friend, Ira Can
field of Medford, Ore., fought
in this country during World
War I and I vividly recall his
description of the country
side and the battles.
We stayed at the Litre hotel
in Paris, a hotel reserved for
members of the United States

At your HARDWARE and
PAINT STORE
Armed forces on temporary
duty in the Paris area. While
I worked on the conference
at Dreux, some forty miles
away, Betsy and the children
spent the day visiting the
Eiffel tower, the Arc di Tri-
omphe, and in general sight
seeing. We then had two days
free in which to take in the
many sights of Paris.
Things were relatively
quiet during our stay, al
though on the first evening
as we were passing through
the city to our hotel, we were
slowed down to a snail's pace ,
at one point and had to move
slowly between two pair of
soldiers with submachine guns
at the ready pointing toward
one car after another -they
were looking for trouble and j
gave every appearance of be-1
ing able to handle same! At !
about 6:15 a.m. on Sunday!
morning we were preparing to
leave the hotel and return to
Germany when we heard a i
heavy blast in the distance. I
We speculated as to whether
this could have been the de-!
tonation of a plastic bomb, i
Later in the day we heard j
over the radio that such had i
actually taken place in the '
new office of Le Figaro.
Sue, our youngest, contin
ues her German kindergarten
and enjoys it thoroughly. She
has a whole roomful of little
friends and they all get along
beautifully. She Is very happy
there and the other youngsters
seem to accept her completely, j
Much "Guten Tag, Sue-Sue"
when she enters and hands
are shaken all the way ;
around, with all the girls ;
curtseying. Sue converses ,
with them in a wild mixture ;
of German and English which j
seems to do the job, although i
I know not quite how. Billy
and Carol are busy with
school work, but attend the
local German school each Sat
urday morning and have made
a number of friends through
this contact.
At times our house seems
to be nearly overrun with
members of the younger set
happily engaging in the ac
culturation process. The "per
son to person" business one
hears about seems to be un
der way in this house-albeit
at a highly informal level!
